I know, i know and i am sorry. Today i take this “L” with my chest and own the fact that i have been away for so long.
Asides the fact that i finished NYSC in 2019, yes i was an Otondo (white fowl π π π annoying slang for corp member).
Enrolled for a master’s degree program late 2019 π«π«π« in Nigeria of all places while juggling the last few months of NYSC (yea, life comes at you fast operation JAPA is gonna have to wait a teeny wee bit),
A bunch of confused thoughts over major life directional decisions, the direction to take
the blog in, contemplated becoming a full house wife, finally settled on becoming Sanusi Lamido’s unreciprocated small chops π½π½π½
Emotional baggage i had to dump on third mainland bridge πππ,
A thousandddd wordpress drafts and people waiting on me, telling me they will be ready when i felt up to posting again,
My village people making me think hardddddd about deleting my LIFE OF OREOFE instagram account due to non-engagement, disappointment or just really attributed to the feeling of not being enough.
I can’t also deny that i have literally been lazy and all that bleh, bleh, bleh above is not to make you feel sorry for me.
Sigh
i mean you see all theses amazing individuals doing amazing things with their life and you are just there drifting on the water’s asking questions like “what really is my purpose? Am i touching life’s or this is just for laughs?”
The truth is sometimes we all need to be reminded of where we came ftom, what it took to get there, who we were, who we are and what we mean and represent to lot’s and lot’s of individuals.
I needed these reminders and although, i am not there yet i remember why i started writing, i know i am not quite “there” yet, but i am making active effort to get where i want to be, and that is all that matters.
Life works out, life sorts itself out. We grow everyday, we unlearn and relearn. Heck i look back at some post i made in 2016 and i go like this can never be me but the truth is it was me!!! Only now i have grown, i have gained more experience and become more knowledgeable!
So cheers to finding ourselfs everyday, here’s to consistency and good laughs, i have finally come to terms with the fact that my name is Oreofe aka Oreo’s for short and i can really do it all and have it all even if it means going slowly, one step at a time πππ.
The daily thoughts of an average 20-30 years old…..
Omo, we are getting better jare….sah dont become full housewife…
